Other information

It appears from Sue Dymond's research for The Branscombe Project, that certainly Collins, Selway and Dunn seem to have remained in their Home Guard rolls after they were recruited as Auxiliers. They are recorded on Action Station documents dated 1942 as maning machine gun posts around the village and coastlines. They may have decided that within such a small and close community that any perceived lack of civil defence work by able bodied men would be noticed and questioned.
Evidence appears to suggest the locals knew something else was going on anyway !
